ELIZA ANNA VERMILLION icliza Anna Vermillion, youngest Child of Jonah and Hannah Price, was born on a farm just east of Rich land Center, Fulton county, June 25, 1851. In early childhood her parents, wishing -to select a farm home from out of the vast area of virgin soil that stretched in all direc tions around them, chose a piece of land located two miles due east of Santa Anna church. Here, nestled in a valley with hills all around, the farm buildings were erected. This broken land with its hills and valleys and the two small lakes at the north end of it, was doubtless selected by these hardy parents because of the Childhood impression received among the hills of the New England states from whence they came. Among these rustle scenes Mrs.

Vermillion spent the days of her childhood and youth. She loved to gather her children about her and tell of her own Childhood experiences; of going with her dog on long trips through thb woods to bring home the cows; telling of the abundance of wild life existing thon; as quails, pheasants, oppoBSUms and foxes with the peculiarities oi eacn; aiso oi ner long trudges across fields, through the snow over 'the hills to the old North school house where she re-calved the meager education which was her privilege to obtain. She united in marriage to James Vermillion on Oct. 1872. This union was blessed with six visitations from the angel of life.

Perry, the second child, passed to the great beyond at the age of 31 years. The five remaining to suffer the loss of this loving mother are: Charlie C. of Betoit, Mrs. Minnie Pontius of Walworth, Albert L. of Montezuma, Lawrence O.

of near Culver; and Mrs. Mary A'Balr pf Gary, Ind. Mrs. Vermillion loved flowers and birds very She loved every thing that was beautiful and it was an ever Increasing joy to her to meet and mingle with her friends. Hardships and struggles in her life were many but she certainly gained a victory over them all, through pa tience and love.

Truly, "her children shall rise Jip -and her blessed. She prayed much and read her Bible. often. She lavished her nraise upon her last pastor anil wife, Rev. and Mrs.

Collier. She has had for some time past. all her burial clothes in readiness, and in them was found a letter with I the Inscription upon it, "Mother's Re-1 quest." In it were the word3, "I i have chosen for my funeral text Mark 14-8, "She bath done what she could," and to this were added the words, and she hath gone to rest." Then followed her farewell words in an ef fort to give them in verse form as follows: There is only one lonely chair vacant. She gone, but not far away; And happy day we will all meet Just across the way. I.

am going over there to meet If a bill now before congress is passed a new national park will be established in the west which will not only preserve for the nation a true "Nature's Wonderland," but will also perpetuate the memory cf a great American amid the scenes of one of the most imporuut periods in his life. The proposed park will Include the famous Bad Lands of North Dakota and it will bear the name ot "Roose velt National Park" in honor of tho President who spent syreral years as a ranchman In that region and who afterwards referred to those years as among the happiest of his whole life. There is an illustrated feature arti cle by Elmo Scott Watsou in this Issue of The Reflector, which tells about the proposed park and some of the romantic history of that region. Be sure to read "A Roosevelt Memorial National Park." LEVI B. ERVIN The passing last Thursday of Levi B.

Ervln removes a citizen identified all his life with the life of this community. "Ere the pruning knife of time cut horn down" his genial, kindly nature and sense of humor endeared him to a wide circle of friends. Levi B.

After an illness of a few days, in which she expressed over and over the love and solicitude for hex children, passed to her well earned reward, with a beaming smile upon her face. This was Monday, Feb. 13, 1928, having lived 76 years, 7 months and 18 days. God traced the love of mother In drifting summer skie3. He made the gl'st'nlng dew drop Like tear3 in mother's eyes.

H. B. Fry were asled to bi local leaders for the cub at the Purdue Extension work to be taken at Plymouth this year. The subject Is "Home Management," and the first meeting will be March 9th. On hundred towels made by the blind were Bold and distributed at the meeting.

It was announced Miss Scott will give two lectures In Argos, April 11th. She Is sponsored by the Monday and Home Economic. Mrs. John Romlg gave the club a splendid paper on American English. She mentioned that from 5 to 7 per cent of children in the public schools are speech defectives.

This means from 1,200.000 to 1,600,000 children in our public schools need special speech trailing. Much trouble is caused by children imitating poor speech In the family at home. Corrections along this line are more possible In children from the age of 5 to 12 or even during the teens but is very difficult later. Oftern folks' power of thought is affected by lack of ability to express themselves and no hindrance Is so great as lack of speech. An average person speaks 150 words a minute, a deliberate speaker 70 to 80 words a minute and a rapid gpcalrer abcut 200 a minute.

Mrs. Romig told of the use of slang and its often later entry into good English. Many cities have made great studies toward bettering the English of their children. Mrs. C.

B. North played a piano solo which was much appreciated. Little Jane Fink in her sweet manner gave several recitations. The hostess, assisted by Mrs. Clarence Zehner and Mrs.

H. B. Fry, served delicious refreshments ot creamed chicken on toast, -pickles and coffee, with miniature American flags as favors. The club will. meet March 13th with Mrs.

Gen. Gilliom seeks-to outlaw the hooded order In Indiana.

Tuesday's dailies featured the revelations made by Emmons in his eight-hour interview. Only a brief digest can tie given here. Emmons, as exalted Cyclops of St. Joseph county, was advised by a representative of the imperial rfffice, tnat the way to get members was to "beat up on somebody" and use some tar and feathers. He said a man named Sirman declared the South Bend klan needed a little more southern spirit and that "if they took some one out of, this Catholic city and gave them a good beating and tarred and feathered somebody, membership would increase by hundreds." Not one dime of ldan finances so far as he ever heard of was spent for charitable purposes.

Emmons declared that most of the money collected by the klan while he was a member was expended for political purposes. In the end, the witness said, klans-men became disgruntled; they wanted to know where the money was going and made charges of graft. Emmons told of having been introduced to Sen. Robinson, who, he said, gave him the klan handclasp. Emmons said Dr.

Shumaker told him to get as many klansmen as possible to turn out and hear Robinson speak. So, well had Indiana klansmen done that in 1924, Indiana had won recognition as the ljlan state of America. Charges Emmons made included the following: That W. Lee Smith when grand dragon told him if the klan wanted to put over any sort of a program "we had to do It with and that "a lot of money is being spent that we don't dare to show." That the general program was to get control of first the county, 'then the state and the country. That klansmen got work on the South Bend newspapers and got copies of articles and editorials that were to be published into the klan headquarters before the material was made public.

That Sunday school publications were used to -carry klan political Blates and that all Protestant ministers were admitted "to membership of the secret organization without having to pay any dues. That there was co-operation between Dr. Shumaker of the antisa-loon league, the Horsethief Detective associations, to support certain candidates in recent campaigns. That the klan had a state membership In Indiana in 1923 of 178,000 but that thev total now was less than 4,000 paid up. That the unit of which he was head had been relieved of its charter because its members had refused to further pay the per capita tax of $2.70.

That members of horsethief detective associations did not have to pay a membership fee to join the klan, that, in fact, horsethief detectives were always klansmen. That the klan considered every vote so vital that it arranges with klanswomen to keep the babies of other women while they went to the polls to vote. That Imperial Wizard Evans told him that it took a lot of money to pay expenses of Albert Zunnbrun, Washington attorney for the klan -a man who wined and dined United States senators. That klan leaders drafted political slates and distributed them generally thruout the state. Emmons Baid he had gotten $2 for each member talen into the crusaders, a unit within the' klan which gave the foreign born, white Protestants, a place in the organization.

Emmons said he still believed in the real klan principles but not the principles that had been put in practice." He said he knew of the horse thief detectives "framing" people oroffer-ing to do so by placing liquor on the premises during a search. Speakers always were instructed to be anti-Catholic, anti-Jew and anti-negro. He Baid they were told that the Jews were trying to get control of the money and the Catholics were trying to take over the religious life ot the "country. The white robes that klansmen wear cost each man $6.50 and $7, Emmons said, adding that the actual cost of manufacture was about $1.15 each. Membership in the klan was $15 at one time, with the local units getting nothing, he Baid.

Later the fee was cut to $10r he added, with the local unit getting $2.50. and $1 on the robe sale. War d-S till son of Anderson had the contract, Emmons said he understood, having been given It when D. C. Stephenson was grand dragon.

Chancellor Commander Marshall Vest called the gathering to order and with fitting welcoming remarks called J. M. Wickizer to preside and have charge of the calling of the roH. As per tradition all names on the great roster were called including the orig inal charter members. A.

A. Schoon-over was the onfy member of this honored group present. His response along reminiscent lines was most lit ting and sounded something ot a keynote for several other responses. Jacob Martin, one of the very "first In itiated -after the lodge was instituted, was next to respond. His talk, too, was reminiscent and held close Interest.

On down the line the long roster was read with a pause, her and there, for response from those "present," all of whom had something to say for the good of the order and many of the talks were of marked Interest. Mention was frequently made of the missing of familiar faces, but just at this time the recent passing of Brothers C. E. AHeman and F. M.

Pickerl were most keenly felt "The last and 440th name on the roster was that of B. O. Buckley who as the youngest mignt or tnem air" re sponded in a clever talk that brot the roll call of 1928 to a pleasing close Lodge matters in general were dis cussed briefly, after which Messrs. H. H.

When she' was but 13 years of age the family suffered the loss of mother, whereupon -Ella assumed many of the cares re sponsibilities of a mother the younger brothers and Born and reared in the Twin Lakes vicinity, the mcst of her -life was lived in or near Argos, where for the past several years she.

defendant's conversation as follows: "Now governor; I know your con dition and we might just as well get down to brass tacks We are very anxious to get this appointment. You go into the room of your private -secretary and when you return there 'will be $10,000 in the drawer of your desk. No one need know about it. "You can call Remy (William H. Remy, present prosecutor, whom McCray appointed) over and tell him you changed your mind." McCray said he turned down the offer, declaring: "Ed, am amazed that you should make that kind of an offer" to me.

You evidently don't know me. It begins to look like I've lost my fortune that I've striven for for 35 years. My office is threatened, it looks as if they, are threatening-my liberty, but I'm not going to lose my self-respect." McCray said that closed the Interview. With deep emotion the Judge on- served: "I believe the. honor of Indi ana is at- stake.

The organization of the Ku Klux Klan is one of the great est disgraces to the state. I am fully aware of the slime and disgrace brought on by, that organization. There Is nothing more regrettable In the history of Indiana." Gov. Jackson is said to have -re ceived over fifty of con- gratuation following the trial, on his escape from punishment. On the other hand many Indiana newspapers, in cluding the Indianapolis Star and Fred Landls in the Logansport Pharos-Tribune, declare the Gore, nor should lose no time in resigning as the very least he can do for hi party and the state.

Now that he has been found out, so to speak, there is quite a disposition to make Mm. the goat. Indications ere, however, ha will continue In office Jiis Jterm expires. On the "Sanity" of the Platform of the Plymouth Democrat for, tht Campaign of 1928. I draw the following conclusions: 1.

The correct way to Improve a "spoiled child" is to remove all restrictions and let it destroy the furniture. It is then a lovely child and grows more lovely. 2. To remove the menace of the drunken driver cancel the rules against it, fill him up with "lawful" liquor and make it easy to get. That removes the appetite and his conscience no longer marks him a lawbreaker.

3. The old time minister and good citizen who preached sobriety and good citizenship and on election day voted with the underworld, or not at all, were good men and free from hypocrisy, but the minister and good citizen of today who preach sobriety, honor and good government and vote the same way are hypocrites and breeders of evil. The trouble is the other fellow is in the saddle today and has been making his own phU-fcrms and the underworld, as always, is so lacking in culture and sportsmanship that it throws mud on him. 4. It was a great mistake for Lincoln to take up the cause of the oppressed, "Sanity" would have advised the other side.

5. The Democratic Party should cease being a "Jack Ass" and become a Kangaroo, that is, it should pursue Buch a policy as to cause it to waste away at the head and grow at the tail. Good evolution that, whenever an organ ceases to be- used it sluffs off. 6. The greatest mistake the Democratic Party ever made was to allow itself to- be jockeyed into the position of defending slavery.

That Is yet the heaviest millstone on Its neck, and the way to correct that mistake is to take the wrong side on the liquor question. The party then, 1 take it, will have a glorious future. 7. When the man who loves his country, who dreams higher things for it, who hopes for higher ideals and better morals reads that platform he is filled with rage and with difficulty restrains himself. When the underworld.

reads it he throws up his hat. That is more good Demote atlc Doctrine that tends to -cause the head to waste -awayiand the tall to grow. Such "sane" leadership points to a glorious future for the Democratic Party. I believe in the good old Jefferson-tan and Wilsonian Democracy, but 1 repudiate a platform, as I believe all good men do. Very truly, Jacob Martin.

MARSHALL COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS Orle Parker and Oliver H. Lawrence settled their suit for possession of real estate out of court. Mollie Loser has dismissed her suit for divorce against William Loser. William Osborn has dismissed his claim against Margaret Rorer'a estate. Jane Shade! was adjudged Ins.m-j and ordered confined.

Parker Wocdley of XlcMinn-ville. Tennessee, represented by Logan Kitch, came from his home on the 9th and plead guilty. From the showing made the court found him guilty, fined him $300, and he is to pay costs in -the amount of $170.68, and is to refund the actual amount of property taken from the dance pavilion, of which Steve Button is proprietor. He is also placed under strict terms of probation during a period of thirteen months answerable to the sheriff of his county, who in turn reports to our county probation officer. It seems to be just another case of an average good being associated with boys of criminal Intentions and accepting their ways, but who has had his lesson and will be able to help himself thru the discipline given in his terms cf probation, to become an asset to society Instead of a liability.

Lineup: Whited, Robbins, Rohrer and Daniels. Next Friday night the A.H.S. boys will go to Akron.

On next Saturday night both the girls and boys will go to Richland Center for last games of the season. JUNIOR HIGH GAMES The Junior High boys and girls journeyed over to Richland Center on Thursday evening, and returned home with three victories. The girls defeated the girls there 11 to 5.

The Reiter- boys and girls play us here this Thursday evening, promptly at 7:00. Their girls defeated us there 64 to 7, but it won't happen again, surely. They have a real team.

Our boys were beaten there 15 to 16., LIMITATIONS LAW SAVES GOV. JACKSON Tho Proven Guilty, Pleads Statute of Limitations and Escapes via Failure of State to Prove "Cohceal-menf' The trial of Gov. Ed Jackson, charged with conspiring and attempting to bride Gov. McCray, closed abruptly Friday when Judge McCabe Instructed the Jury to render a verdict of not guilty, saying: "I want it distinctly understood the sole reason for this instructed Verdict is -because no concealment has been proved by the state." The state had six witnesses, most of whom swore to the "fact" of offering a bribe, but when the Governor sought refuge behind the statute of all this evidence came to naught because the state did not prove Jackson and others had kept the' bribery effort "concealed." No defense evidence was offered. iWhen the indictment against his co-defendants, George V.

Coffin and Robert I. Marsh, is disposed of Gov. Jackson will reveal to the public his evidence," the statement of his three lawyers said. "As his attornys we have confidence that it will be such as to convince fairminded persons that -the charge of any or criminal act on his part is wholly without foundation and' fact' The state witnesses were former Governor McCray; D. C.

Stephenson, former Grand Dragon of the Indiana Klan a.nd now serving a life term for murder; Fred Robinson, former cam' paign manager for McCray; James W. NoeL McCrays attorney; State Senator William P. iflvans, McCray'8 son-in-law; Harry McGlenn, a special investigator; and Remy. It was a dramatic moment when Jackson and McCray confronted each other the formet as defendant and the latter as' the prosecution's star witness. For many years they had been of the same political party and closely associated in handling the affairs cf state.

Gov. Jackson looked at the witness at. he related details ef tie allegred oSer.
